Control and interact with a live browser session on any scraped page — click buttons, fill forms, navigate flows, and extract data using natural language prompts or code. Use when the user needs to interact with a webpage beyond simple scraping: logging into a site, submitting forms, clicking through pagination, handling infinite scroll, navigating multi-step checkout or wizard flows, or when a regular scrape failed because content is behind JavaScript interaction. Also useful for authenticated

🧩 One of 7 skills in the firecrawl/firecrawl-cursor-plugin package — works on its own, and pairs well with its siblings.

This is the playbook your agent receives when the skill activates — you don't need to read it to use the skill, but it's here to audit before installing.

firecrawl interact

Interact with scraped pages in a live browser session. Scrape a page first, then use natural language prompts or code to click, fill forms, navigate, and extract data. For web searches, use search — interact is for acting on a specific page.

Profiles

Use --profile on the scrape to persist browser state (cookies, localStorage) across scrapes:

# Session 1: Login and save state
firecrawl scrape "https://app.example.com/login" --profile my-app
firecrawl interact --prompt "Fill in email with user@example.com and click login"

# Session 2: Come back authenticated
firecrawl scrape "https://app.example.com/dashboard" --profile my-app
firecrawl interact --prompt "Extract the dashboard data"

Read-only reconnect (no writes to profile state):

firecrawl scrape "https://app.example.com" --profile my-app --no-save-changes

Tips

  • Always scrape first — interact requires a scrape ID from a previous firecrawl scrape call
  • The scrape ID is saved automatically, so you can omit --scrape-id for subsequent interact calls. Saved sessions may expire after about 10 minutes; re-scrape if the CLI warns that the session is stale
  • Use firecrawl interact stop to free resources when done
  • For parallel work, scrape multiple pages and interact with each using --scrape-id
